The Fuel-and -Vacuum pump

Today I reassembled the Fuel and Vacuum pump. New diaphragms, new seals and a screen in the debris separator. Since the wipers work on the manifold vacuum they would stall when the engine idles. The vacuum pump creates a little extra power for the wipers.

I also started on the distributor. It was a real mess. Found a new distributor cap and new spark plug caps and a “Tune up set” still in the original wrap.

And lastly an overview of my workshop at home. This is where I do most of the small work.
